Not Getting COVID Vax? Bellmawr Gym Owner Will Give You a Free Membership

There's no stopping Ian Smith, the owner of a Bellmawr gym who stood in defiance of New Jersey state lockdown laws amid COVID-19. In fact, he wants to reward you for NOT getting vaccinated against the virus with a free gym membership.

Since early 2020, Atilis Gym has found itself caught in the crosshairs of New Jersey Governor Phil Murphy numerous times, refusing to close its doors as COVID-19 spread across the state. Numerous rallies were held outside of the gym in support of its decision to remain open to its members. In return, the gym was delivered thousands of dollars in fines.

Atilis Gym Owner Ian Smith Banned from American Airlines

And it was just about a month ago that Atilis Gym co-owner Ian Smith was banned by American Airlines for refusing to wear a face mask on a flight from Orlando, Florida where he made an appearance at the Conservative Political Action Conference, reports Press of Atlantic City.

So, whatever. Smith's dug in his heels. We get it. But how exactly does someone prove they DIDN'T get the vaccine? Don't you think someone that's fully vaccinated might lie about having gotten it to take Smith up on his free gym membership offer? Just sayin'.
